Armed Forces: Republic of Ireland

Joan Humble: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many  (a) men and  (b) women registered as born in the Republic of Ireland serve in the (i) Army, (ii) Royal Navy, (iii) Royal Marines and (iv) Royal Air Force as (A) commissioned officers and (B) other ranks; and what the equivalent figures were in each of the last 10 years.

Bob Ainsworth: The following table shows the number of Republic of Ireland Nationals(1) that serve in the UK armed forces(2,3) by service, gender and rank as at 1 April each year.
	(1) Nationality information has been used in place of country of birth as data on country of birth is currently unavailable.
	(2 )Data are for UK regular forces (trained and untrained), including nursing services and excluding full-time reserve service personnel, Ghurkhas, the home service battalions of the Royal Irish Regiment and mobilised reservists.
	(3 )Information on nationality for Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel is only available post joint personnel administration implementation (6 October for Royal Navy and Royal Marines). Information on nationality for RAF personnel pre joint personnel administration (6 April for RAF) can be provided only at a disproportionate cost. Information in the table is for Army personnel only in 1998 to 2005; for Army and RAF personnel in 2006 and for all services in 2007. All 2007 information and 2006 RAF information is marked as provisional due to the ongoing validation of joint personnel administration data.

Spare Parts: Lost Property

Dai Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the value was of spare parts lost in transit in each year since 2003.

Bob Ainsworth: Data is not held in such a way that enables the separate identification of "spare parts". Losses in transit have only been recorded separately since 2005. For financial years 2005-06 and 2006-07, the reported value of losses in transit was £4.8 million and £2.9 million respectively. As at 31 December 2007, the total value of losses recorded for financial year 2007-08 is £2.3 million.

Bovine Tuberculosis

Geoffrey Clifton-Brown: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many cattle were tested for bovine tuberculosis in 2007; and of those how many reactors there were.

Jonathan R Shaw: Latest provisional statistics indicate that 5,367,901 cattle were tested for bovine tuberculosis in Great Britain between 1 January and 30 November 2007. Of these, 23,330 animals were identified as reactors.(1)
	(1) Provisional figures, subject to change as more data becomes available. Figures include both tuberculin and gamma interferon tests and subsequent reactors.

Fishing Catches

Bill Wiggin: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pursuant to the answer of 12 December 2007,  Official Report, columns 707-08W, on fishing catches, 
	(1)  for what reasons the discard data under Council Regulation 1543/2000 have not been systematically compiled; and if he will make a statement;
	(2)  what steps are being taken to ensure that discard data under Council Regulation 1543/2000 is systematically compiled; and if he will make a statement;
	(3)  what action is being taken by the Commission in relation to EU Member States which have not complied with their obligations under Council Regulation 1543/2000; and if he will make a statement.

Jonathan R Shaw: The Commission monitors the degree to which member states comply with their obligations to collect data under Council Regulation 1543/2000, through a requirement to submit annual technical reports on the work carried out. These reports include a section where member states report on the scientific working groups to which they have provided data. The Commission compares this with reports from these working groups on the data received, to assess the level to which each member state has complied with their obligations.
	Proposed changes to the regulation have been discussed. The UK has underlined the key aim of ensuring that the needs for information of such groups charged with providing advice to the Commission and member states are met. The Commission has taken this on board in the proposed changes to the regulation, formalising the requirement to provide information to scientific working groups within the regulation and proposing penalty measures to be applied to the level of funding granted to member states that do not comply with these obligations.
	The UK will be supporting the Commission's intentions to ensure that data from all member states is accurate, timely and fit for purpose.

Sure Start Programme

Maria Miller: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families 
	(1)  how many and what proportion of  (a) children and  (b) families (i) who are black and minority ethnic, (ii) with English as an additional language, (iii) with special needs and disabilities and (iv) with a lone parent (A) have been provided with information on and (B) are accessing Sure Start programmes and services; what assessment has been made of the effectiveness of those programmes and services; and if he will make a statement;
	(2)  what the capacity of provision for child care through Sure Start programmes was in each of the last five years; how many and what proportion of  (a) families and  (b) children (i) received information on and (ii) accessed this provision over this period; what average proportion of capacity was used over that period; and if he will make a statement.

Beverley Hughes: All Sure Start Children's Centres provide information and advice to parents and carers on a range of subjects including local child care and education services for three and four-year-olds. Centres serving the most disadvantaged communities in England must provide integrated early learning and full daycare as part of their core services while centres serving less disadvantaged communities may provide integrated early learning and daycare places where local demand is not being met by existing, good quality providers. The information requested about different groups of families receiving information and taking up services, including integrated early learning and daycare, is not collected centrally by my Department. Data on the capacity of provision for child care through Sure Start programmes in the last five years is not collected centrally.
	The ongoing National Evaluation of Sure Start (NESS) produced initial findings on the impact of the early Sure Start Local Programmes in November 2005. These gave a very early indication that Sure Start is succeeding in making a difference to a large number of parents and children and is doing particularly well in affecting parenting practices. Because we know that some Sure Start Children's Centres have more work to do to reach the most disadvantaged families and from April this year we have committed additional resources which will enable local authorities to fund two more outreach workers in centres serving the most disadvantaged communities.

Union Modernisation Fund: Audit

Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what procedures are in place to monitor and audit the public monies remitted to trades unions under the auspices of the Union Modernisation Fund; and if he will make a statement.

Patrick McFadden: holding answer 22 January 2008
	 In line with normal arrangements for Government funding, all UMF projects are regularly monitored for progress and expenditure to ensure accountability and the protection of public funds. All projects are required to allow site visits by BERR officials. Failure to comply with such monitoring activity may result in sanctions, including withholding or reclaiming of funds.
	On completion, each project is required to produce an independent accountant's report. The report accompanies the final claim and confirms that the union has expended the sums in respect of which all claims have been made.
	In addition, BERR is working with Leeds University Business School to conduct a phased evaluation of the fond. Phase one evaluated the operational effectiveness of the first round of bidding. Phase two will evaluate the success of supported projects and the impact of monies via a series of case studies. An interim phase two evaluation report was published in December 2007.

Tourism: Greater London

Tom Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what estimate he has made of the average expenditure per head by overseas tourists visiting London in the last five years.

Margaret Hodge: The table shows the average expenditure per visit by overseas tourists to London for the latest years for which data is available.

	The figures exclude expenditure relating to fares for travel to and from the UK, and include expenditure by same day transit visitors.

Tourism: Greater London

Tom Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what estimate he has made of the number of  (a) overseas and  (b) UK tourists who visited London in the last five years.

Margaret Hodge: The tables show (i) the number of overseas visits and (ii) the number of overnight trips by UK residents to London for the latest years for which data is available.

			 (1) The methodology for the UKTS changed in 2005 meaning that comparisons with previous years should be treated with caution. This change occurred as a result of concerns with the quality of 2004 data, which is thought to be an under-representation of the true position.  Source: UK Tourism Survey (National Tourist Boards). 
		
	
	It is not possible to provide a time series for the number of day visits by UK residents to London as the survey is run intermittently.

Departmental Freedom of Information

Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what percentage of freedom of information requests received by her Department have given rise to responses that have been published by her Department.

Parmjit Dhanda: Communities and Local Government has adopted a selective disclosure policy whereby only the most high profile pieces of information and those of wider public interest are published as a matter of course on the disclosure log on its website at:
	http://www.communities.gov.uk/coporate/about/freedom-of-information/disclosure-log/
	To date, 5 per cent. of responses to requests made to Communities and its predecessor Department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Environmental Information Regulations 2004 since 1 January 2005 have been published.

Flood Control: Essex

Simon Burns: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government when the Scot Wilson Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for Mid Essex and Colchester will be published; and what the reasons are for the time taken to publish it.

Iain Wright: The strategic flood risk assessment (SFRA) work undertaken by Scott Wilson was split into two phases. Phase 1 successfully completed in November 2006, with Phase 2 involving the delivery of the individual SFRA chapters to suit local development framework (LDF) timetables. This is a joint piece of work commissioned by Chelmsford, Colchester, Maldon and Braintree local planning authorities to help inform their emerging LDFs.
	A number of factors led to the delay in publication of this study. In August 2007, the Environment Agency requested that the scope of the study be changed to take into account new guidance in planning policy statement 25 'Development and Flood Risk' and the accompanying practice manual to take account the possible impacts of climate change for river systems, such as the incidence of higher density rainfall. This required the engagement of additional consultants to undertake reruns of the fluvial models, which took further time. However, undertaking this further work means that the final SFRA aims to comply with most recent Government guidance and provide the most up to date information in relation to flooding that also includes consideration of the potential impacts of climate change.

Local Government Business Growth Initiative

David Kidney: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the local government business growth initiative (LEGI); and how much additional funding has been provided under the LEGI to local authorities.

John Healey: I understand my hon. Friend means this question to relate to Local Authority Business Growth Incentives Scheme (LABGI) rather than Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI).
	At the end of the first year of LABGI, we revisited the methodology used to calculate the level of funding given to local authorities to ensure that the scheme continued to deliver an incentive for local authorities to maximise local economic growth. As a result, the scheme was simplified by removing the ceiling on payments made to local authorities.
	On 7 January 2007, the Government announced that, following further consideration of new legal challenges that have been made against the current scheme and the inherent uncertainty that this caused to the remaining LABGI pot, that it intended to re-consider all aspects of the approach used to distribute the remaining resources available for Year 3 of the LABGI scheme. The full statement can be found at
	http://www.local.odpm.gov.uk/finance/labgi/statementyr3pay.pdf
	In October 2006, the Government published an issues paper, which sought views on reform of LABGI. This set out the Government's intention to develop an incentive as a full and permanent part of the local government finance system and to phase this in from 2009-10, with funding of £50 million doubling to £100 million in its second year. We are now considering the responses that have been received.

Members: Correspondence

Edward Garnier: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government when she will reply to the letter from the hon. Member for Harborough of 20 December 2007 on the eco-town proposal in Harborough.

Iain Wright: holding answer 22 January 2008
	 My hon. Friend the Member for Gloucester (Mr. Dhanda) replied to the hon. Member on 17 January.

	The police can issue penalty notices for disorder (PNDs) which can include offences such as littering. The littering offence was added to the PND scheme in 2004 when it was rolled out nationally.
	Data on the number of PNDs issued for littering broken down by police force area is published as a part of the publication 'Penalty Notices for Disorder' for 2004 data and as a part of 'Criminal Statistics, England and Wales 2006' (for 2005 and 2006 data). These are available on the Ministry of Justice website.

Departmental Pay

Philip Hammond: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much her Department and its agencies spent on end-of-year bonus payments in each of the last five years.

Liam Byrne: End of year bonus payments for staff in Home Office headquarters, the Border and Immigration Agency, and for senior civil servants across the Home Office are linked to performance appraisals. The following table provides the amount paid in end of year bonuses to these staff in the last four years:
	
		
			   Amount paid (£) 
			 2002-03 2,067,878 
			 2003-04 3,361,516 
			 2004-05 4,287,676 
			 2005-06 4,449,667 
		
	
	Figures for 2006-07 are subject to some change as data are not yet complete.
	Staff in the Identity and Passport Service receive end of year corporate bonuses, and change agent bonuses. As the corporate bonuses were only introduced in 2003-04 the following table provides information for the last four years only:
	
		
			   Amount paid (£) 
			 2003-04 388,874 
			 2004-05 731,484 
			 2005-06 1,068,482 
			 2006-07 1,253,045 
		
	
	Staff in the Criminal Records Bureau do not receive end of year bonuses.
	Data are not available from the Prison Service, who were formally an agency of the Home Office prior to transferring to the Ministry of Justice, as obtaining these data are possible only at disproportionate cost.

Entry Clearances: Pakistan

Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many spouses from Pakistan left the marital home before being granted indefinite leave to remain and were allowed to stay in the UK as a result of an administrative decision by her Department in each year since 2000.

Liam Byrne: The requested information is not readily available and could be obtained only by examining individual case files at a disproportionate cost.
	The number of Pakistani spouses who left the marital home and were subsequently recorded as being granted indefinite leave to remain on the basis of domestic violence since 2003 is shown in the table.
	This information has not been quality assured and is not a national statistic. It should be treated as provisional management information and may be subject to change. Data has been rounded to the nearest five.

			  Notes: 1. Since 2003, the completeness of data on whether hepatitis B infections are acute or chronic infection has decreased and therefore figures for 2004 onwards are not reliable. The HPA is working to improve the quality of information on acute hepatitis B reporting and provisional data for 2007 should be available later this year. 2. Data is reported by laboratory rather than by the patient's place of residence. Therefore, any breakdown of data below regional level is not considered reliable. 3. Where fewer than five cases were reported for an area, the table indicates the number of cases reported as <5 rather than the actual number in order to reduce the risk of deductive disclosure of an individual's identity.

Detainees: Human Rights

Andrew Tyrie: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will discuss with Mr. Thomas Hammarberg, Commissioner for Human Rights in the Council of Europe, the Secretary-General's proposal on secret detention and detainee transfers, when he meets him on February.

Kim Howells: The Human Rights Commissioner will meet my noble Friend the Minister for Africa, Asia and the UN, the right hon. Lord Malloch-Brown, who leads on Human Rights issues. We considered carefully the recommendations made by the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe when they were issued in June 2006. However, as stated in my written reply to the hon. Member on 23 November 2006,  Official Report, column 245W, the Government believe that domestic legislation and international legal instruments already exist to deal satisfactorily with the concerns he has raised. We stand by this statement and believe that there is no need to create new mechanisms such as the Secretary-General proposes. I wrote to the Secretary-General on 23 January 2007 outlining the Government's position in detail.
	The Government believe that the best long-term protection against terrorism lies in the defence of our freedoms and values. We remain fully committed to our obligations under international human rights law. We do not render people in breach of our legal obligations and we do not agree with secret detention. The Government oppose any form of deprivation of liberty that amounts to placing a detained person outside the protection of the law.

Sri Lanka: Armed Conflict

Keith Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of Sri Lanka on its decision to withdraw from the ceasefire agreement; and if he will make a statement.

Kim Howells: The Government's position on the abrogation of the 2002 ceasefire agreement by the Sri Lankan Government is clear. Most recently, during a debate in the House on Sri Lanka on 17 January, I called on the Sri Lankan Government to deliver on their commitment to urgently produce a just political solution which satisfies the legitimate aspirations of all Sri Lankans ( Official Report, columns 1183-88).
	In his statement of 4 January, my noble Friend the Minister for Africa, Asia and the UN, the right hon. Lord Malloch-Brown, expressed the Government's view that there can be no military solution to the Sri Lankan conflict and called on the political parties in Sri Lanka to work together for peace.

Equal Pay: Women's National Commission

Jo Swinson: To ask the Minister for Women and Equality whether an equal pay audit has been conducted by the Women's National Commission.

Barbara Follett: No equal pay audit for the Women's National Commission as a separate entity has been conducted, but its staff would be included in any assessment of the commission's funding sponsor, the Government Equalities Office, previously known as the Women and Equality Unit. I refer you to my answer to PQ 170572 regarding whether an equal pay audit has been conducted for the Women and Equality Unit, and to my answer to PQ 171377 regarding what assessment has been made of the pay gap between male and female staff in the Government Equalities Office. Publishing separate figures relating to the Women's National Commission, which is a small body, may risk identifying individuals.

Rape Crisis Centres

Theresa May: To ask the Minister for Women and Equality how many rape crisis centres there were in each year since 1980.

Barbara Follett: No published data has been identified which would permit a year on year account of the number of rape crisis centres in England and Wales since 1980.
	According to the website of Rape Crisis England and Wales, there are currently 38 affiliated members in England and Wales. The National Council for Voluntary Organisations reports that in 1985 there were 84 rape crisis centres in England and Wales, and that this number reduced to 50 in 1990. Independent research by the End Violence Against Women coalition, and reported in Map of Gaps, found that there are 42 groups associated with Rape Crisis England and Wales, 18 less than there were in 1996.

Departmental Consultants

Charles Walker: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what contracts his Department has with external consultants; what the total value, including all VAT and disbursements, of these contracts are for the current financial year; how long each contract lasts; and what the forecast total value is of each contract.

Douglas Alexander: The information requested could be provided only at a disproportionate cost.
	DFID contracts external consultants with technical expertise to deliver development projects and programmes around the world. Consultants undertake humanitarian relief operations, respond to requests from partner governments for advice on complex economic and administrative reforms, and help improve health and education services, all with the objective of reducing poverty and improving the lives of people in developing countries.

Kenya: Financial Institutions

Annette Brooke: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development pursuant to the answer of 14 January 2008,  Official Report, column 1079W, on Kenya: financial institutions, what direct assistance his Department is giving to assist existing microfinance businesses in Kenya where the owners need immediate help.

Gareth Thomas: holding answer 21 January 2008
	DFID is providing direct assistance to the multi-donor Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) Trust, which is working in partnership with the Kenya Association of Microfinance Institutions (AMFI) on assisting existing microfinance businesses in Kenya which need urgent help. FSD is providing technical assistance to AMFI, to assess and design emergency programmes and to secure financial resources for these. DFID has allocated £11.3 million to the FSD Trust, with other donors making up the total budget of £19 million.
	AMFI is leading the industry response to the crisis, looking at three areas of potential support: (i) micro-finance institutions (MFIs) using their strong grassroots involvement in affected communities to build peace and reconciliation between people and mitigate ethnic tensions, (ii) an emergency liquidity facility to support MFIs facing liquidity constraints as a result of the crisis, and (iii) cash transfer schemes targeting-people with micro-enterprises who have suffered catastrophic losses, to provide a base from which to rebuild their livelihoods.

Departmental Procurement

Philip Hammond: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether the standard terms and conditions of purchase used by his Department in the procurement of goods and services from the private sector prohibit the assignment of debt.

Anne McGuire: The standard terms and conditions of purchase used by my Department in the procurement of goods and services from the private sector do not prohibit the assignment of debt.
	DWP standard terms and conditions state:
	"The Contractor shall not assign, sub-contract, or in any other way dispose of the Contract or any part of it without prior Approval"
	"Approval" and "Approved"—refer to the written consent of the Authority's Representative.
	This is line with the standard terms and conditions issued by Office of Government Commerce for use across the public sector.

Poverty

Danny Alexander: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions 
	(1)  what baseline data his Department uses to measure material deprivation;
	(2)  what proportion of children in  (a) workless households,  (b) households where one parent is working,  (c) households where both parents are working and  (d) each region were living in material poverty in each quarter in the last 10 years for which records are held.

Caroline Flint: Material deprivation is one of the three indicators for measuring child poverty. The other two measures are absolute low income, which includes households with incomes below 60 per cent. of the median income held constant in real terms from a 1998-99 baseline, and relative low income, which includes households with incomes below 60 per cent. contemporary median income. The material deprivation indicator includes households with incomes below 70 per cent. of the median and a material deprivation score of 25 or more.
	Information on the base lining of material deprivation can be found in 'PSA Delivery Agreement 9: Halve the number of children in poverty by 2010-11, on the way to eradicating child poverty by 2020'; Page 24, available on the HM Treasury website.
	Data on material deprivation is collated annually by the Family Resources Survey and is only available from 2004-05 onwards. Our most recent data is for 2005-06. In 2004-05, 2.2 million children in the UK were defined as poor using this combined indicator, while in 2005-06, the figure was 2.1 million children.
	The proportion of children in material deprivation by economic status of household is shown in the following table. A breakdown by region is not currently available because this requires three year's Family Resources Survey data for robust statistics.
	
		
			  Proportion of children in material deprivation, by economic status of household 
			   2004-05  2005-06 
			 All adults in work 5 4 
			 At least one adult in work, but not all 16 18 
			 Workless households 60 57 
			 All households 17 16 
			  Notes: 1. Some households in the Family Resources Survey may contain more than two adults, for example a couple with children may also live with one or more of the children's grandparents. 2. Within households, pensioners are excluded from the classifications if they are not working, and are included if they are working. For those households where children live only with pensioners, the status of all adults is included in the analysis. 3. The analysis includes households where someone other than the parent may be in work. 4. Data for the Family Resources Survey is only collated annually and therefore a quarterly breakdown is not available.  Source:  Family Resources Survey 
		
	
	The available material deprivation figures and details of the methodology can be found in 'PSA Delivery Agreement 9: Halve the number of children in poverty by 2010-11, on the way to eradicating child poverty by 2020', available on the HM Treasury website.

Valuation Office: Digital Technology

Eric Pickles: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will place in the Library a copy of the Valuation Office Agency's guidance note Best Practice in the Use of Digital Photography.

Jane Kennedy: The Agency's best practice guide in the use of digital photography are internal technical instructions on use of the Agency's digital photography application and how, when and where to store digital photographs on the Agency's central database to ensure overall system performance is not affected. It is not appropriate to place these documents in the Library.

Capita

David Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much was paid by his Department and its predecessor to Capita Group plc and its subsidiaries in each financial year since 2000; which contracts were awarded by his Department to Capita Group plc in each year from 2000-01 to the most recent available date; what the cost was of each contract; what penalties for default were imposed in contract provisions; what the length was of each contract; whether the contract was advertised; how many companies applied for the contract; how many were short-listed; what criteria were used for choosing a company; what provision was made for renewal without re-tender in each case; and if he will make a statement.

Maria Eagle: In the financial years from 2000-01 to 2006-07, the last full year for when figures are available, the Ministry of Justice and its predecessor Department and agencies expenditure with the Capita Group plc and its subsidiaries was as follows:
	
		
			   £ 
			 2000-01 0 
			 2001-02 3,800 
			 2002-03 17,165 
			 2003-04 12,250 
			 2004-05 498,678 
			 2005-06 1,267,379 
			 2006-07 643,418 
		
	
	The other information requested is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Prisoners

Rudi Vis: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many prisoners under 21-years-old there were in each week since 26 January 2007.

Maria Eagle: Data on the prison population, including a breakdown by age, is published monthly on the Ministry of Justice website:
	http://www.justice.gov.uk/publications/populationincustody.htm
	The following table shows the number of young people held in prison establishments as at the end of each month since January 2007:
	
		
			  Monthly published totals of young persons held in all prison establishments in England and Wales: January to December 2007 
			   15 to 17-year-olds  Young adults( 1) 
			 January 2,385 9,276 
			 February 2,418 9,286 
			 March 2,413 9,311 
			 April 2,402 9,425 
			 May 2,450 9,364 
			 June 2,428 9,455 
			 July 2,472 9,418 
			 August 2,473 9,545 
			 September 2,485 9,533 
			 October 2,441 9,544 
			 November 2,357 9,542 
			 December not yet available  
			 (1) Young adults are those aged 18 to 20 and those 21-year-olds who were aged 20 or under at conviction who have not yet been reclassified as part of the adult population. 
		
	
	These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.

Prisons: Employment

David Burrowes: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice 
	(1)  how many prisoners were employed on average in each prison workshop in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available;
	(2)  how many prisoners were  (a) employed in workshops,  (b) employed outside workshops and  (c) without work in each adult male training prison in England and Wales on the most recent date for which figures are available.

Maria Eagle: The Prison Service does not keep central records of the number of prisoners employed in each prison workshop or those without work but instead records the average weekly number of prisoners involved in workshops at each prison. The table shows, for the last 10 full years for which the information is available, the average weekly numbers of prisoners involved in workshops by prison.
	There are no reliable records available on non-workshop employment, and this data has not therefore been included. Such records cannot now be recreated due to the absence of historical data at establishments.
